Dwarven Thrower

Dwarven Thrower is a very rare +2 Warhammer that returns to the wielder when thrown, and deals extra damage if the wielder is a Dwarf or the target is Large or greater.

The first Dwarven Thrower was created unintentionally. The moment was transcribed in the annals of dwarfdom thusly: 'Ach, it doesn't work. Another design down the bloody drain. Now to... Does er... Does anyone else hear a sort of humming whistle? Growing louder?'

Where to find

• Rivington X: 43 Y: -101: Sold by  Ferg Drogher near the Requisitioned Barn

Notes

•  Ferg Drogher does not sell any items (including this one) if  Shadowheart is in the party, unless she killed  The Nightsong earlier in Act Two. Otherwise Ferg Drogher disappears from the game after the first interaction with him and there is no other opportunity to get the Dwarven Thrower.
• As this weapon returns when thrown, it works well with  Tavern Brawler and  Enraged Throw.

Regarding Dwarven Thrower (passive feature):

• Being disguised as a Dwarf when equipping the weapon also activates Dwarven Thrower.

Bugs

Regarding Homing Weapon:

• Once a weapon with the Homing Weapon passive is dropped, this passive will not show if the weapon is examined while it is on the ground. Aditionally, when a dropped weapon with this passive is subsequently picked up and thrown (regardless of which character throws it) it will return to the Main Hand (melee) of the character who initially dropped the item.
